Card #21 for 2026

 
Dear blog readers, I'm sorry I've been gone again
for awhile.  I miss stamping terribly, but struggling to 
get well. Any ways I'm home for now. Thank the LORD.
I will try to make the most of it.  Here is a card I will enter in 
the challenge at:  Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge 

I used stampin Up:
Ode to Spring. which I only have in French, but I thought
the images were so darling so I purchased it even though I can't read French. 
Learn & Grow.  I always enjoy a cute book/teacher stamp set.
almost as much as Christmas sets. 
I used a lovely DSP for the background behind the little critters.
I'll never get use to stamping when the images don't line up, it's 
suppose to give that natural water coloring sort of look, I just feel
likes it's unfinished but it's done I assure you.  wink. 
My raspberries are coming in nicely, unfortunately, no
gardening for me yet this summer again.  I can't even eat 
the delicious berries yet but hopefully someday.  Hubby is 
enjoying them for now.  
Patriot puppy had his second Birthday on July 4th.
The little fella is growing up.  I will try to add some 
videos to instagram.  
My neighbors the train yard.  I figured I'd better get some pictures
and videos posted of this too on instagram.  My friends like to see
things like this.  It always amazes me that when I tell people what my son 
does for work, they act like trains are no longer a thing. My son is a freight train conductor. 
  I can testify to the fact that trains are still out and about, they run 24/7 never a day off. 
The verse I chose for this card is:
Psalm 42:1 NKJV
As the deer pants for the water brooks,
So pants my soul for You, O God.
📖
 Thank you for stopping by for a visit.
Keep Smiling and Keep Stamping
